Halls of mirrors Everywhere And all I see is faces Solemn expressions Ecstatic grins Will never fill the spaces Left behind And out of breath My panting soul sighed Frantically searching For what was not there I set all doubts aside Lying down On shattered glass There was no hope to be found Crimson life Spread throughout That recently hallowed ground Heartbeats slow Eyes close Painted lips fall silent Simple swirls Intricate spirals Spin around in torment Breath engulfed My fated lungs As my tired eyes grew wide My body wretched As it breathed in life Searching for where souls reside Getting up And walking out I pass an audience of changing hues I’m invisible Didn’t you know? You don’t see me, it’s only you

Halls of mirrors Everywhere And all I see is faces Solemn expressions Ecstatic grins Will never fill the spaces Left behind And out of breath My panting soul sighed Frantically searching For what was not there I set all doubts aside Lying down On shattered glass There was no hope to be found Crimson life Spread throughout That recently hallowed ground Heartbeats slow Eyes close Painted lips fall silent Simple swirls Intricate spirals Spin around in torment Breath engulfed My fated lungs As my tired eyes grew wide My body wretched As it breathed in life Searching for where souls reside Getting up And walking out I pass an audience of changing hues I’m invisible Didn’t you know? You don’t see me, it’s only you
